Hey everyone! As the title suggests, I'm considering going on a cycle. I've seen multiple threads and forums on this site and others, but have gotten a lot of mixed results. I've also asked people from my gym who have been open about their steroid use as well. I originally considered hopping on an 8 week test only cycle, but was told that's a wasted cycle. I saw another suggestion where I should kickstart a cycle on TBOL and end it with Anavar, but I feel like an entire cycle of orals would put my body at a lot more risk. After reviewing a lot of threads I've come up with an idea of a cycle but would definitely love some insight and input. Before I jump in to the cycle, I'll provide my stats and experience.
I'm currently 5'11 and 185 lbs. I managed to bulk up to 207, but got in an accident which resulted in rupturing a few discs in my spine. My sciatic nerve got messed up and there were moments where I'd wake up and not be able to move my legs. I was on bed rest for a while and sidelined for months. When I finished physical therapy and got cleared to go back into the gym, I weighed in at 173 lbs. It took me a while to find a new program and which exercises I could do, and which I had to avoid in order to not put my back in an uncomfortable or painful position. After a lot of experimenting, I finally found a program that worked for me and have been consistent with it!
I worked out about 10 years before the injury, however, a lot of those years I was also doing MMA so had to stay within a weight range and did a lot more cuts during that time, I weighed between 140 and 155. The last 3 years, I stopped MMA and just focused on weight gain and weight training after getting a job as a CO in a jail. I've been sitting at 185 now and just sitting at maintenance. I've done a couple SARM cycles in the past but thinking about hopping on the real stuff now. If any advice or input, that would be greatly appreciated!
Thinking a 12 week test cycle with weeks 8-12 on Anavar. The goal is to gain some weight without gaining a significant amount of fat. For this I've considered the first 6 weeks eating at a 500-700 surplus and the last 6 weeks eating at maintenance or a slight deficit.
Week 1-4 test 350mg
Week 4-12 test 400mg
Week 8-12 Anavar 40mg
Week 1-12 Aromasin (as needed)
PCT
Chlomid 50/50/25/25
Nolva 40/40/20/20/20
Considering adding Ostarine and Cardarine during the PCT in order to keep most gains during the cycle and also avoid weight gain (fat)
If any ideas, suggestions, input, feedback, please feel free to let me know as well as what adjustments should be implemented. Thank you guys so much! Have a great day.
